Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 352

352. Yeonwoo Effect (1)

October 18, 2022

KSH7.

That ID feels very familiar for some reason.

And…….

‘This situation also feels very familiar…….’

Yeonwoo easily recalled a situation he had once brushed past.

So…….

‘Was it during my first live broadcast……?’

That was when he didn’t even know what YouTube was.

My TV in My Hand, or MyT, was planned by benchmarking real-time streaming sites, including YouTube.

At that time, Yeonwoo learned that he was communicating with viewers and broadcasting for the first time.

‘……Why does that suddenly come to mind?’

The answer came easily.

Why?

It’s nothing special.

It was the result of a wonderful collaboration created by a very familiar ID, situation, and excellent memory.

The big shot’s bizarre behavior that stirred up the online concert did not stop there.

*

-WHAT THE……? What? Am I seeing this right?

-Oh, friend. Calm down. I think I saw the same thing.

-Wasn’t that the person who just donated 100 million?

The chat room buzzed with another donation notification.

“Uh…… Trevi? A viewer is making a huge donation right now……?”

Naturally, the staff monitoring the situation were also stunned by the enormous amount.

Of course, when Trevi moves, tens or hundreds of times that amount moves…….

‘But this is just an online concert……?’

That means there are no usual overhead costs.

Hundreds of millions are spent on venue rental.

Billions are drawn for labor costs.

There are no production costs for various MDs [merchandise] for fans.

Ah.

More money than all of that combined went to the pediatric cancer center under the name of venue rental.

But anyway.

‘This is the first concert that doesn’t cost so much.’

The staff were saying this to each other, as this concert, which was being held via YouTube live streaming, didn’t have any additional costs.

It was no different from uploading the filmed video online as usual.

However.

“Let’s leave this as a memory and record for the children and their guardians.”

The impact of that statement was by no means small.

A record for memories, not a typical promotional video.

Moreover, they even experienced the overflowing love for humanity directly on the scene.

It was a subtle but enormous experience that would have a great impact on their lives up to now and in the future.

“I’ll have to grind my soul to edit it. Thinking that this will be their memory.”

“Oh. Seriously, even though I work with Trevi, I’m not someone who praises unconditionally…… This idea is really brilliant. And wise.”

“He was a good person before, but after Yeonwoo came, it’s like he shed a layer. Is it just me who thinks that?”

‘It’s like a butterfly shedding its cocoon.’

One staff member’s words were passed from mouth to mouth.

Everyone agreed that there was no better way to describe Trevi’s situation.

He had been suffering from a severe slump for years, unable to do anything.

Then, after meeting Yeonwoo, his skills suddenly blossomed and became even more outstanding.

“Really…… I’m so glad we didn’t stop him back then.”

Trevi was suddenly obsessed with an Asian, an unknown actor at that.

The staff, the label’s president, the publicist, and a few close friends were all worried about Trevi suddenly focusing on one person like crazy.

-To like someone like that!

Some were even shocked.

It was natural.

A peddler-like figure they had never heard of.

Well, he was a rising star on Onflix these days.

‘But even so, compared to Trevi…….’

It would feel like a firefly in front of the sun.

No matter how famous he was, he had not been properly verified yet.

This was because Yeonwoo’s rise had been very short.

Besides,

-I don’t know what kind of damn demands he’ll make!

-Sigh…… There have been so many people like this. I wonder what this person will do, selling Trevi’s name this time.

Trevi had a lot to lose.

They had no idea what kind of demands he would make, relying on his fame.

It’s a foolish and silly thought to think about it now.

But it was serious back then.

The crazy people who flock to world-wide stars are beyond imagination.

This is a place where people who believe that the earth is flat still exist.

It was natural to be sensitive.

‘But it was all unfounded…….’

-To like someone like that!

The same exclamation as before.

But the words that followed were completely different.

-I’m so glad. I’m glad that the person Trevi liked was Yeonwoo, not someone else.

The suspicion of Yeonwoo was only in the beginning.

Anyone who had experienced Yeonwoo for even a day could not doubt or hate Yeonwoo.

-It’s like……. being possessed……. by something…….?

When one staff member said that.

-Hey, you too?

-Hey, you too?

-Hey, me too!

Everyone agreed.

They were staff who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and they had become cynical about everything except Trevi, having seen all sorts of bizarre things.

It was almost impossible for them to express the same opinion with one mind.

But.

The impossible happened!

It was the same now.

“100 million……. It’s 100 million.”

“Wow. If we do well, will this be on the world record?”

“It will definitely be on it, right? More than that, I can already see the title of the article that will be uploaded later.”

Not 1 million won, not 10 million won.

A whopping 100 million.

“This…… This could be a very good promotional tool.”

Trevi’s publicist had already started to flash his eyes behind his glasses.

A stimulating situation that can attract people’s attention enough without anyone getting hurt.

It was all done with Yeonwoo’s good intentions, but even here, a great promotional tool was already created.

‘Really…… Is there a god?’

If so, Yeonwoo would be their god.

It may be dismissed as too extreme praise.

But considering the changes and things that have happened since Yeonwoo appeared, it was never too much.

‘Especially that…… It was really like magic. It was nothing short of a miracle.’

Yeonwoo and Trevi’s concert, which they watched with their own eyes.

It’s hard to believe even while watching it being played on live streaming now.

However, it was even harder to believe when I saw it with my own eyes back then.

Whoosh-

From the moment the fire first started.

Rustle!

Even the beautiful fireworks that scattered here and there.

What about those cute and lovely animals and fantastic creatures that roamed the sky?

One staff member was so amazed that he contacted a famous magician he knew who was making huge profits touring Las Vegas and asked him.

Is this really possible?

But.

-Who did this? Introduce him to me right away!

Rather, the magician clung to the staff.

-What kind of trick did he use? Did he set up the device in advance? No? Oh my god. Then what is this……!

The magician was so aggressive that the staff who provided the video was embarrassed.

-I have to put him on my show! No, it’s better to do business together! I guarantee it. This person is an innovative person who will continue the lineage of magic in the next generation!

No, that much?

‘I must never say it!’

A sense of crisis enveloped the staff.

It was an instinctive judgment that Yeonwoo should not be taken away by the strict magic world as it is.

Anyway, it wasn’t just the staff who were impressed by the performance.

That included Trevi’s publicist, who was said to have no blood or tears.

‘Hmm. Hmm hmm. Jessie? It’s Dad. How have you been?’

He became subtly softer after Yeonwoo came.

Originally, he was a publicist with a knife-like commerciality.

Such a person called his family!

For reference, Trevi’s staff had been working together for more than five years and had never seen the publicist make a private call.

‘To be successful, be like Trevi’s publicist!’

Someone said that.

He was always thorough at work and separated public and private matters so well that it seemed like there was no ‘private’ at all.

But that kind of person.
The one who was rumored to have oil flowing through him instead of blood.

He made a call to his child during an official schedule.

‘He was human too…….’

Yeonwoo’s performance had something that made people’s hearts flutter.

My heart swelled up.

I felt a thrill.

Something that touches the deepest part of a person.

Something like that.

‘Maybe after this online concert is over, there will be many more people who experience this miracle.’

That day had long been remembered as a magical and fantastic memory.

Perhaps the same will be true for those who watch the concert online late.

‘When I think about it, everything was like magic from the beginning.’

It wasn’t just about the concert.

Trevi’s slump was completely cured as if by magic.

Was it just cured?

‘I’m also hearing the words ‘second heyday’. No, there are even words that now is the career high season for Trevi.’

With Yeonwoo, Trevi came back to life.

It felt like Trevi himself, not just the musical part, was reborn.

Trevi’s career was the same.

It was a career that boasted an amazing career before.

If you were to pick the best musician, Trevi would always be there.

But what about now?

‘Untouchable.’

It is the highest praise that cannot be dared to be challenged, and it is a shocking title for them who continue to break and renew records.

This was all possible because of Yeonwoo.

Every move showed results beyond success.

Everyone predicted the success of this online concert as well.

Of course, it was because they were the staff who had witnessed the scene in person.

Of course, I didn’t know that such a hot reaction would come back.

*

“Yeonwoo, what should we do?”

Trevi asked from the side.

He also looked a little embarrassed, but he was much better than the staff who were almost fainting.

“Let’s just leave it for now.”

Yeonwoo’s voice was calm.

Even at the moment his words ended,

-Oh my god. Another 100 million!

The familiar ID’s donation continued.

“Another…… Another 100 million has come in.”

The staff’s trembling voice was heard.

It was the moment when 100 million became 200 million in an instant.

“Hmm?”

-What the……. Another 100 million? What? Is it someone else this time?

In an instant, another donation notification rang.

Also with the same amount of 100 million.

The staff almost fainted at the sight of the amount that had tripled in the time it took to say a word.

“Shouldn’t we stop them?”

“Just a moment.”

Yeonwoo looked at the ID on the monitor.

Kingblue.

It’s an English word that’s not very special.

But strangely, I feel a sense of déjà vu with that word.

-Are these people crazy?

-Did the 100 million I know suddenly change to Zimbabwean dollars from today?

-Oh my god. This place is crazy!

The newly emerged dark horse was throwing donations as if competing with KSH7.

-No, why are you guys like this? Like you’ve never seen such crazy donations before?

-They’re foreigners, so that’s why; If they were in Korea, they would have already gotten used to it [ㅉㅉ is an internet slang indicating disapproval or sarcasm].

-Welcome, is this your first time tasting money?

Meanwhile, domestic fans who have been watching Yeonwoo for a long time were strangely calm and relaxed, which was the killing point.
